    ListView doesn’t allow text-wrapping.

    What I usually do is set “ShowItemToolTips” property true in such cases. Then user can see the whole text a ToolTip. This is the only simple option I can see with ListView to help in this case.

    If you really want to support for text-wrapping you will have to either use a third party ListView or use a DataGridView.

    EDIT
    If you are using VS2010, Tile View is an option for you.

    With the tile view feature of the ListView control, you can provide a
    visual balance between graphical and textual information. The textual
    information displayed for an item in tile view is the same as the
    column information defined for details view. Tile view works in
    combination with either the grouping or insertion mark features in the
    ListView control.
